These last three days planning workouts at the gym and actually going through with them have made me feel really great, even though I'm absolutely sore. I'm still trying to figure out to get myself more toned-looking, and how to actually lose the weight that I want to lose, though. I think the hardest part is the food. I find myself eating really sporadically, and a lot of times I don't even pay close attention to what I'm eating, other than the amount. I want to eat healthier, too, not just less, but I also don't know how to find a diet to follow. I really hope that I can stick with this... :(

I go to the gym for 1-1 1/2 hours 3-4 times a week, and either run on weekends or take them off. At the gym, I'll start on the treadmill. Depending on the day, I'll either go for 15 minutes at 7mph, or do 5 min 6mph, 5 min acceleration to 9mph, 2 minutes at 9mph, 3 minutes at 7mph, and then another 5 min at 6mph. After that I stretch, then use the machines for either upper or lower body, depending on the day. Then I do abs: 50 incline situps, 1 min front plank, 1 minute side planks each side, 100 crunches, 100 oblique crunches each side. After that I'll either go on the elliptical or stationary bike for 20 minutes or so, and then finish off with another 5 minute run at 7mph.

Sounds like you are doing interval training and that is a great way to push yourself. Resistance training helps. Maybe try some free weights or bands, too. They tend to target muscle groups better than machines. Do you log your food? That may help you get a focus on nutrition. Good luck!

I would try HIIT. Quick efficient programs. Also I would add more ab movements to hit them from all angles. I like mixing days of just cardio with days of cardio & resistance and days of just resistance. This confuses the body, rest the body and pushes the body...
